MD Anderson's Lyda Hill Cancer Prevention Center offers a range of services to help you learn how to reduce your cancer risk or to detect cancer early - when it’s most treatable. Cancer screening exams are based on age, gender and disease risk. We also offer risk assessment, risk reduction and diagnostic evaluation services.

Cancer screening

When you’re healthy and not experiencing symptoms of cancer, a screening exam can be used to find cancer early, for the best chance at successful treatment. We provide cancer screening services for the most common cancers:

Breast cancer A clinical breast exam and screening mammogram can help detect early breast cancers.

Cervical cancer Human papillomavirus (HPV) testing identifies women at risk of cervical cancer due to an infection with the virus. A pap smear test is administered to detect abnormal cells in the cervix.

Undiagnosed Gynecology Clinic If you have an abnormal Pap test, family history or other concerns related to gynecologic cancers, our experts can perform additional testing to determine if treatment is needed.

Healthy Heart Program We help patients improve their fitness and heart health with a personalized exercise routine and counseling.

Healthy Living Clinic Our staff provides detailed guidance on how to reduce your cancer risk through diet and exercise.
